gateway. united airlines presented a bid requesting just over $300,000 annually. su "city leaders say having two bids shows the growth in the area." "now if we can continue to do what we do, maybe we can get off this essential air service in a couple of years and actually have airlines coming in here like we used to 20, 30 years ago," said scott. american airlines has operated at the airport under the eas program since april 2012, replacing delta airlines. this is its third bid with the airport. right now the airline has the contract to serve sioux city with 13 weekly flights to and from chicago's o'hare airport. that contract expires april 30th 2016. the bid for that contract was for $611,000 per year. united presented a bid last cycle at a much higher subsidy of $1.4-million. united pitched in its current bid that it will also look into possible flights to denver. "american has continued to look at dallas and unfortunately, i think with their merger with u-s that got, u-s air, that got put on the backburner." said scott. "but you know but i think both of the two that bid are looking at

different markets besides the chicago one which is very encouraging." >> i spoke with sioux gateway airport director mike collett about today's news. he says the airport is glad to get the two bids and quote "we did a good job making airlines realize sioux city has a lot to offer." matt and sheila? sioux city residents, who have internet with cable one, can service. today, cable one announced the upcoming launch of gigaone, which is the the company's new gigabit service. the company's newest speed is 40 times faster than the average speed the company offers, right now. but, you'll have to have patience. cable one will launch its new service, next year. it's a little cooler today but what does the weekend have in store? here to tell us that is chief meteorologis t ron demers with the first look at our forecast. weather ad-lib temperatures were closer to average today but we knew we couldn't

first few days of november brought us. tonight will be cool with a lot of us seeing lows dip into the upper 20s to around 30 degrees. then tomorrow will be quite a bit like what we saw today with better warming on sunday as a stronger south wind kicks up. (sheila) after seven years of federal review, president barack obama has rejected the keystone x-l oil pipeline. (matt) reaction was swift from republican lawmakers, whose states stood to benefit from the project.

the project doesn't make sense to move forward. first, the president said the pipeline wouldn't make, quote "a meaningful, long-term contribution" to the economy. translation? few new, permanent jobs. "second, the pipeline would not lower gas prices for american consumers," said president barack obama. "in fact gas prices have already been falling, steadily." third? the president said shipping, quote "dirtier crude oil" into the country wouldn't increase america's energy security. "what has increased america's energy security is our strategy over the past several years to reduce our reliance on dirty fossil fuels from unstable parts of the world," the president said. south dakota governor dennis daugaard says friday's move makes the opposite true. "by halting the keystone pipeline the president is eliminating an opportunity for america to be more reliant on trusted north american friends and less reliant on oil producers from other places - many of whom do

our values," said gov. dennis daugaard, (r) south dakota. nebraska governor pete ricketts said the president's decision was "politically-motivated", and "puts jobs and this tax revenue at risk." u.s. senator charles grassley said simply that the president's decision is, quote "completely non-sensical." >> the keystone xl pipeline proposal would have built an 11-hundred mile pipeline from canada to refineries in texas. as many as 2,500 people were homeless in sioux city last year. (sheila) to put a dent in that number, a major event is going on right now at lewis and clark park in sioux city. (matt) that's where we find ktiv's robert lowe. he's with live link 4 and has more, robert? matt and sheila, out of those 2,500 around 300 people could be sleeping out in the cold on any given night. but, as you said, hoping to counter that number, as many as 300 siouxlanders are expected to show up tonight, to sleep outside for the 11th time that the organization has hosted the siouxland sleep out. joining me

to talk about tonight's event is alice mollet from the siouxland coalition to end homelessness. thanks for joining us. 1)why is this event so important to the community? 2) pending the weather holds up, what events will be going on on here tonight? 3) where does the money go? and if you can't make it out, how can siouxlanders get involved? alright, alice thank you for joining us. now, matt and sheila, coming up tonight, on news 4 at 10 we'll have more from tonight's

veterans in cherokee county got a big thank you today. it's more then 6 feet tall and over 40,000 pounds.

this massive rock is on the road to becoming a freedom rock. these rocks are made by an artist named ray "bubba" sorensen who has taken on the task of painting murals on rocks in each of iowa's 99 counties. they are meant as a thank you to veterans and their families. cherokee county's rock was moved this morning. one vietnam veteran has seen the other freedom rocks and says he's been trying to get a rock in cherokee for years. "i think the rock probably help bring a lot of the memories back, but i wouldn't trade it for anything because i feel like i'm a better person for being in the army and going to war like that and i'd do it again," said vietnam veteran cherokee, iowa vfw commander, edward boger. boger enlisted when he was 17- years-old. he fought in vietnam twice and says this rock is a big thank you. "to me it's a sign that that they're giving back to me for what we've done in vietnam," said vietnam veteran cherokee, iowa vfw
